well i have an aging 4yr old single core 3.2 here combined with 7900 agp card
i get a steady 25-30fps now that ive unplugged my wheel

with a microsoft ff wheel i got 2fps hahaha, so i have to use a shiz msoft sidewinder joystick

might buy a 360pad as i dont really like any of the newer wheels out there, logitech seem too plastic and breakable (uh oh)

I would imagine this could be fixed in the final version.. given that poor controller support is a known bug.. however if this specifically hasn't been reported then they may not know..

Been thinking about getting a 360 pad myself. Mainly for the analog triggers and extra shoulder buttons.

Don't think my saitek can quite cut it in comparison - really want analog throttle - when I had throttle bound to the thumbstick it was actually possible to drive sensibly in relation to gears and revs, bit too difficult to control throttle with a thumbstick though.

how long did it take to download then, sky broadband is that?

Nah its Be Broadband 24mbit , had it for 6 months orso now tbh its been fantastic , had Bulldog 8mbit before and that was a friggin nightmare , I get a max of about 1850-1900kb/s on torrents.The only thing that lets it down is the upload is only 1mbit , makes it kinda difficult to keep up ratios

Anyway sorry to be off topic was just answering the question

how do you get to the photo mode ?

alexisonfire · 15 Dec 2006 at 18:48

Photo mode is disabled as far as i can see, i still can't figure out how to take screenshots (i use fraps).

But to take photos without anything on screen go to options, display, and uncheck GPS, A.I Names and Speedo. Then back in game, use the mouse to change the angle.

signed up for the beta , d/ld it , installed it , got a key and the bloody thing won't run :mad:

Tried removing controllers as per beta forum known issues , tried compatibility mode , tried diff video settings like switching off supersampling , aa & af to app controlled etc etc.

Anyone else had any probs like this , spec is in sig and im on 97.44s atm

Any help much appreciated , im dying to play this game fs

do you fold?
if so shut that down. TDU wont run with it ( i found this out

)

what are the symptoms in detail

LeeMc · 16 Dec 2006 at 00:21

Thanks for the reply but I sorted it , it was the sidewinder gamevoice causing the problem , I dont use it anymore other than to switch between headphones and speakers so just unplugged the usb and everythings ok with TDU plus it still works as just a switch now which is fine.
Gonna go play some now , seems to run pretty nice(19x12 16x af 8xaa) and graphics look good also.

phew!

The bottom one looks better, 350z never look that good irl

That might have something to do with the fact that the car pictured is the Nismo tuned 350z, which does look as good in real life.

downloaded the beta, then signed upto fileplanet and have no key.

How are people getting keys?

I thought if you were a member of fileplanet you got a key?

ehhhm its something to do with protein folding and something that goes wrong blah blah blah...

anyway they need lots of samples to work out how it happens and it takes something like 50000 CPU years to get suitable about of data.. so they get all household PCs to work it out as well..
its suppose to help research with parkingsons and cancer thing as well.. you should seriously consider it if you have a good computer.

Do you pay for a subscription? If you don't you won't get one. You will have to wait till full public beta in january.

neil27 · 18 Dec 2006 at 13:45

Dammit. Beat me to it!

I'm enjoying this game now its running properly but could do with using a wheel with it , i'll have to dust me Microsoft FF wheel off and see if I have the same probs as eekfek did.
Photo mode works once you become a pro btw , just got one race to complete to get the bikes , so gonna do that tonight.
I've done about 600mile up to now :rolleyes:

, n thats in just 1 1/2 days heh.....addicted ??

Still not had any races with anyone yet........
Also still have some slight stuttering in game as you go into different areas and the area name pops up on the right , anyone else have this prob ?

Also just stripped a 350z at work so I know all about these bloody things and the way they are put together , a 56 plate battered at the front with every airbag in the car gone off. bleh :rolleyes:
